The midnight nitpicker strikes!!--CentOS is not a RedHat distro---it is a CLONE of RHEL.
Regardless--for the OP: Waste of time to try and maintain RHEL without registering, Get CentOS or Fedora if you reallu must have a Red hat type system. |

RHEL is open source, and CentOS and Scientific Linux have recompiled the source code and added features of their own. They just can't call it RHEL because RHEL is trademarked. If you like RHEL, then CentOS or Scientific Linux may just be what you are looking for. Plus, you will get updates and community support which you will not get for an unregistered RHEL.
